Some of the major factors driving the DEXA equipment market are DEXA scans to measure bone mineral density (BMD) quickly and accurately at the hip and spine, important role in the evaluation of individuals at risk of osteoporosis, and in helping clinicians’ advice patients about the appropriate use of any fracture treatment. Also, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and technological advancements are the major factors driving the growth of the DEXA equipment market.

Unfavourable reimbursements on DEXA scans, risk to pregnant women, lack of trained staff, and costlier nature of these equipments the market’s growth is being hindered.

DEXA is considered to be the gold standard for body composition analysis and bone densitometry tests.

DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is an improved form of X-ray technology that helps in accurate detection of osteoporosis.

Growing medical tourism in Asia will drive the market in future.
